I don't even play this game anymore and yet this channel has become one of my favorites

Same, but it's still nice seeing Nick's opinions on stuff even though I mostly disagree with it
Glad to see more Nickyboi content.
Coomtent
I like when people can be respectfully passionate about things they like. Either games, videogame characters from said games, whatever. Whenever someone opens their little treasure box of hopes and dreams (don't say it) it just feels right, and somewhat inspiring. You can love, hate, like and despite; but always with an open mind. I HECKING LOVE Zyra and Zilean, and you know what? that's ok. I love Bootleg Poison Ivy and Rewind Grandpa.
I won't say it, but now the OST is stuck in my brain and it's because of you >:c

How do we tell him?
When I used to play League, a majority of my time was spent as mage mid laners and enchanters- stuff like Syndra, Ziggs, Ahri, Sona, Soraka, etc. I thought that was what I enjoyed the most because I was a very cautious and patient player that didn't really go in unless someone else did first.
Then I played Kled and realized all I needed was for my character to be the one to go in first and I've been obsessed with him ever since. Everything about him is perfect.
"men go in" the champion
You're a legend xD
ive had the exakt same experience with rell! enchanters are nice and all but when rell released i learned the joy of engage
10:00 NickyBoy’s lore is growing. After fillers after fillers we finally get lore.
I mentioned in the last casual champ review for Master Yi, but like Cho’gath for Nicky, Master Yi got me into league as well. His gameplay is simple and designed is really goofy looking now but I like it
Also really nice story with Ivern helping Nicky create a genuine friend group through League. Which funny enough my group does a similar thing where we invite anyone who we is cool/nice enough to join. Some were one-offs but now we have a big group of friends to play together and it’s great
being biased is okay when nicky does it because i said so
My favorites are: Kindred, Jhin, Aphelios, Taliyah, and Ornn. I love their lore, design, music and gameplay.
*adc player*
@@LabRatz-Ivor I'm a JG main, with adc as second role.
@@davidturner6280 oh ok never mind
As a Pyke onetrick, the first time i played him, something just clicked the kind of elusive support was just what i needed, the design is just peak without a single flaw and he will always be my soft spot as the champ that got me into league.. But this day it changed as when Aurora came out, i remember when i friend of mine told me at her teaser release "Oi dude why the are you in the game now ?!" And i was so surprised to when i saw her it was straight up just looking into a mirror, personality, appearance, and way of doing was just so much alike that i even started cosplaying her, Plus she was also a elusive and nimble champ, just how i like them ! So i started to main aurora more and more over my beloved pyke °^°
I love Aurora too! The ornn event with her was great. I want to try picking her up as a support, alongside Lux.
kinda funny how you went from the "dark and revenge seeking more or less all in character" to an elusive, very introverted nice behavioral character, while sharing some things with each other, being 180 in many other directions.
yet i wanna say "thats not possible, doesnt fit" while i have the same thing.
im an absolute ADC main with a sweetspot for late game carries. Kog, jhin, jinx, smolder. especially jhins voicelines, ingame behaviour, etc.. im always a big "resonating personality" fan when it comes to champions. and at the same time i love someone like kled SO MUCH. I hate running someone down in early game but with kled, just because of his personality and his whole kit is "go in coward 24/7!" it's just ... fun? even though he sucks balls late game.
I could kinda get going with this because its rare to have youtuber and communities share more then their best meta builds, compares to liking the champion or game because of personality art direction etc but.. it's nice to see.
For me the 1st character to get me into league was really Azir, the Egyptian god nepo baby just stole my heart. Sad that he’s one of the hardest characters to play so people were happy when little me tried to do so. Coming back yeaaaars later to modern day I’m still scared to really play him, but that’s when my love for Swain and X’erath really shown through. Something about their designs (despite the matter Xerath actively looks like he’s a million years old model wise) and just the way they played put the biggest smile on my face.
This is the kind of video I needed to see, this past week has been kind of rough. Thanks for being here, your community very much appreciates you
Pyke was the one character that I vividly remember watching the trailer during lunch and saying to my friend at the time "I'm going to main him", and I did
I used to always get stuck on the support role since I sucked at every other role, but pyke was so fun that I actually learned how to play support well, and then that role became my favorite thanks to fish zombie man, even after all the nerfs and things removed from his kit like completely removing his ability to clear waves, I do still like playing him in mid by basically playing as a second jingler.
Pyke just feels like My champion in a way, a comfort pick that I just love.
I remember playing League of Legends for the first time, in a Internet Café where the only people who were there were older dudes, and as a 12 year old girl, I felt really intimidated. I played horribly, was really nervous, and didn't understand anything about the game. I remember trying to understand Anivia over and over again, sucking at the controls, but I thought she looked so different and pretty on her Splash Art that I HAD to learn how to play her. I gave up on playing League after I got flamed pretty hard on another bad game.
Fast Foward a few years, I'm 19 and decided to try league again. I first started only on Toplane, but after looking for champions, I remembered Anivia... I played her again, and I couldn't stop. I finally understood how she worked and she was so much fun! Keep them away, the storm will wear them down, keep your calm, you're in control. I like the few bits of info we got about her... She is wise and caring, but also not above mischeavously pranking her siblings and hiding the truth when the prank causes colateral damage. As an older sister, I really relate to her 😅
I really hope Anivia gets more love from Riot. Imagine how angry I got when, after adding Ornn and having the possibility of finally completing the Godly siblings trio.... The bird champion they chose to add next was Swain.
I love Ivern so much. I will never get enough of strolling away, slowing and rooting people as Daisy beats them up or using CC and vision to walk out of someone else's jungle leaving them totally confused about where I went.
Listen, don't let arseholes who think they can say anything if they phrase it like a joke fool you, Trolling is a noble art.
For me Cho'gath was also the same reason I got into League.
When I first saw league I wasn't convinced at first but then I just saw this giant monster and was like "Woah! Who's that?" It was Cho'gath obviously and when I started playing league I would just play him all day and eventually I had to play someone else because god knows it gets boring playing the same character in the beginning and wanted to try the other champs.
Cho'gath holds a special place in my heart too even if he isn't one of my main champs I play anymore.
For the amount of hate Lux gets, I can't help but love her. Her playstyle has just the right amount of difficulty to keep me engaged, but not too much as to overwhelm me. Eventually, I want to reach diamond just by using her. I love her story, her amazing skins, and her personality. Best LoL champ imo.
For me is Bard. I didn’t even play when he released but a good chunk of my friends did and they spent years convincing me to play.
They showed me Bard’s champion showcase and something just clicked. Somehow I just knew I’d love play as him and I was 1000% right.
I've been playing League since around when Gwen came out, and I think the two champions that got me to stay were Fiddlesticks and Urgot.
I've always wanted to be a voice actor, and my friend wanted to show me some "cool voice acting". He linked me to Fiddlesticks, and I was captured *immediately.* I had some passing knowledge of League before, so I knew Fiddlesticks was just a goofy scarecrow man, but the fact that they managed to turn him into that? I was astounded. So I gave League a shot. But what really made me stay was when I was playing a game and spotted an Urgot rando on our team who was doing extremely well. He was basically a walking tank and seeing him singlehandedly storm his way through the team with a machine gun and putting people in the meat grinder was awe-inspiring.
Nowadays? Urgot is my highest mastery character and Fiddlesticks is pretty close behind.
The world of Runeterra is awesome.
My two favourite characters from league are rammus and and malphite, I know they’re designs aren’t great, I know they don’t have outstanding storys but I love them. I don’t know I just find them really appealing, just two big, nice and a little dumb monsters chilling in the desert. I guess I just like ground types.
Rammus is literally just the most adorable creature on the planet, right alongside kogmaw. W pick. (Especially durian defender, love that skin!!)
Yes I forgot to mention they’re adorable (well malphite has an adorable personality not appearance but still)
Yay someone else loves the Skarner redesign! :D I'm talking as a pure lore-enjoyer, non-LoL-player, but I just love him so much!
The character that brought me to league was velkoz cuz i loved his design and got more interested in his lore and DUDE am so happy he's very relevant to runeterra (i also love big eyed squids and him being a researcher makes it better to me)
For me, it's Rell. A ragey teenage metal bender who turns the place she was imprisoned into a badass horse that is also her armor is just one of the coolest things i've encountered in fiction.
For me, it's Swain.
Back in the day when I was a high school student, I used to main League where I main pre-Noxian Might Darius, while playing old Swain on the side.
I stopped playing eventually because the game stressed me out.
Years later before I graduate college, I saw Swain's rework and I think it's the coolest thing in the world. Especially with his coat cape fashion.
It took me years to play League again, but I played Swain. It was difficult because landing E is such a chore, but eventually I got the hang of it.
I'm not that great in the game, but I feel proud to the hard work and dedication I put into to make him my one and only LVL 7 mastery champ, and whose entire skin catalogue I own.
I took a break from PVP because I'm stressing from the game again, but I play him at AI games so I won't be rusty. I'll get back to him one day.
Karthus is one of my faves and I wish I liked playing him more but he’s my king in ARAM, he is just stupid and goofy and you can make a play style about just throwing yourself at people and slowly burning them
Lulu, mischief incarnate, purple, kit that exists to annoy you
Briar: love her so sad that the only time people ever mention is to talk about her feet or if she’s a minor, she has a fun unique play style, gremlin energy, I just love cute and I love chaotic and she is one of my faves
taric is a character that speaks to me very deeply, he is a very nice person that loves the wolrd, he loves everything that is beautiful, and that is life itself. as someone who fought with hard depression, he was my comfort character. i felt like he was guiding me and showing me the little things that matter out there. and the fact that he failed and willingly paid for what he's done, and coming back as a wiser person, that's so inspiring to me. i want to be the protector i needed when i was younger.
I love Fiddle. It's so great. After three games of playing Master Yi, my fourth ever game of league was fiddle. It had been reworked litterally a week ago, but somehow I didn't see nobody play him. And I just fell in love. The weird sounds, unsettling animations, but also the gameplay; easy to use, and really impactful. I just gotta love it. He's the character which I learned League through
Illaoi is so unique and having so much love by the creator they even create a whole religion because of her. I think she's one of if not the highest impact character launched on runeterra universe
I was one of the 12 people who used to main the old Aurelion Sol, he was one of the first champions I saw from the game and I absolutely loved everything about him: his thematic, design, personality, voice, lore, music and gameplay. Playing him felt just right to me and was very satisfying to play well on a champ no one else used or knew what he was capable. Making the enemy tilted because I did an insec and killed them under my tower; doing constant damage while kiting and never getting hit; travelling across the map to counter gank or push while knowing no one could stop you... Ah, good times.
But his rework made me immediately lose interest in League, and for me that was the turning point to stop playing the game.
When i was told to try league i didn't even had a PC, when i got one that could run it then it all started, i tried to understand the game, not so well at the beggining. Then i met her, Annie, in bot lobbies i though the bear was a standalone champ that could teleport where you were; so i tried to understand Annie and found out that she was not so popular when i started playing her seriously.
She was the first champion i got a skin (Annie in Wonderland) and from there i played her so much that she was the first champ i got into Mastery 7, i didn't cared about others saying she was a "noob's champ" my objective was burst anyone too confident to dive me. She were the first one to make me realize that i'm good with burst mages, and the rest is history, still bronze player but i'm happy where i am because even she being my best champ to play i like to experiment with other champions and see what i can do, playing with her when the situation calls for a bear destruction.
Bel’Veth is my favourite by far. Stupid attack speed is fun, but nothing will beat an army of fish
Fun fact: You're the person who got me to play League Nicky. And more so, because of Cho'Gath; I had gone to your stream in the Broken Covenant "skin leaks" after watching your videos for a while, and I just had to play it, and today I periodically play League as a Cho'Gath otp, with Ornn and Pantheon on the side
Kog is my favorite ADC, mainly because I rerolled Bee'Maw and since you loved it so much I forced myself to plau a bit of the pup to see what he was like. I went from forcing myself to playing him to only wanting to play him if I'm ADC.
personally i absolutely adore varus!!! i was so fascinated by his lore and think his design is absolutely beautiful, and in picking him up discovered i really, really enjoy playing adc, which i probably never would have learned without him because none of the other adcs even remotely interested me for the longest time (i play pretty much all the standard adcs and jhin now, but for the first while of my league career i pretty much only played enchanters and mages). i love his build diversity and new voice lines and again his story is just sooooo good
When I used to play league, I still remember some of my favorite champions
Vel'koz: he was the guy that made me interested in playing league in the first place
Renekton: I loved his backstory of a fallen brother to Nasus, and I had so much fun landing combos with him
Fiddlesticks: I love how genuinely terrifying Fiddlesticks is in terms of lore and design, and I was able to steal the baron with him
Modekaiser: Just walking around like a badass raid boss was so satisfying
Twitch: he is full of pure gremlin energy, and he's one of the few adcs that I enjoyed playing as.
Jinx and Vi: not only are they both fun to play as, but their role in arcane made me love the two even more.
Bard: Just the design alone makes me love this cosmic support, and flying around was a lot of fun
Braun: supreme chad
And finally, Rammus... He's ok
It was Warwick for me. I started playing league a while after he got reworked and when I checked out the roster for the first time, Warwick was there and I REALLY was a giant werewolf fan (It's not like you might be thinking, I just find them really cool). And looking at his design, it wasn't just a regular one such as at WOW's.
Then I played him and oh my god, his gameplay was all I wanted, it is so enjoyable and fun.
Afterwards I checked out his lore and I loved it too, a person who have lost everything including his identity for the past that he couldn't change, I really like those kinds of stories.
And after a while, Arcane released and spread all the "Vander is Warwick" theories and I really was happy, because Vander was one of my favourite characters during the show.
Overall, personally, I love everything about my beloved champion.
Right now, I think my absolute favourite champion is Sett followed by Kayn. There's just something really endearing and relatable about characters that want to present a strong front to the world, in an attempt to mask their insecurities and fears and protect their most vunerable and soft parts. It's that nuance that's really gets me emotionally, Sett isn't just a mean Jock and Kayn isn't just an edgelord, they are those things on the surface but there's so much more underneath! On top of that, their visuals are great and their VAs did an amazing job bringing them to life and expressing their many layers. Also some of my other favourites are K'Sante, Rennata, Aphelios and Yone....Yes they're all atractive and yes I'm part of the problem :)
Prowlers Claw Rek'Sai was honestly so fun to me, it was so simple and easy to play as someone wanting to get into jungle, still like Rek'Sai but it isn't the same anymore.
Also love full AP enchanters top, most enemy top laners just cry about it in all chat and I feed off that XDD
First champions I played though were Kindred, Rek'Sai and Xayah though. Kindred cause I saw Jonsandman playing TFT Set 1 and I saw Kindred's icon and it looked very mysterious and cool, Rek'Sai cause I thought TFT set 2 Rek'Sai looked super cool and Xayah because I got star guardian out of my first ever crate.
Since then I have immensely enjoyed playing OLD Skarner (bruiser), Ornn, Rakan, Anivia, Senna and Warwick to name a few. I am truly glad to have found this game through a one off TFT video, I have genuinely enjoyed the 3.5k hours in it and hope for more fun in the future.
I may not play League anymore but I will always have a soft spot for Twisted Fate.
One of my favorite fantasy weapon archetypes is "Character who uses cards", so when I saw TF something in my brain went "Yes". He was the first champion I got a skin for, I believe he was my first purchased champion.
I remember when he got his VU, I snuck my laptop into my room and played several games with the new TF.
Mordekaiser for me , just the power fantasy of being a huge bulking hundreds of pounds iron armor that just smashes everything that opposes him & is the literal master of death makes you feel really powerful
I LOVE Vel'koz. I'm a pervert who likes to give more than he can get in return. I love that three-tentacled floating eyeball that's been around for millennia in the lore, but in the game he talks as if he just got out of the Abyss a week ago. He is perhaps the most terrifying Void monster in Valoran, he is the one Bel'Vet tried to threaten. But his behavior... God, he doesn't even sound like a monster when he's under the filter! He's more like a reclusive scientist who, after twenty years, saw people again and no longer feels like human himself. He's such an average attempt at a "Smart Monster" that it's endearing. And I wouldn't even mind if they gave him such a stupid and funny skin that makes him look human.
Also, when I started playing it, the game was dominated by tanks and being able to deal so much true damage was an incredible advantage.
Mordekaiser has always been my favorite character just because how freakin sick the concept of him is. I actually got more into league because of Nicky’s video where he called Morde a karen because the afterlife didn’t meet his quality standards
Not the Ivern/Nicky lore dump, that shit got me emotional
I love that league jeaporder fanart
While the first character that aimed to play was Nautilus, based on his appearance in the "New Dawn" trailer, it didn't really last a long time. However, I once saw a video analysis on why Quinn is so unpopular and something clicked. So now she is the one with the highest mastery on my account.
Mundo will always have a special place in my heart. And the fact that post rework mundo is still recognizable as Mundo, I know whenever I'll come back to League that he'll be there and I'll have fun with him. Too bad he was kinda weak from nerfs last I played him, but he's still my guy. Nautilus and Poppy also have their place close as Poppy always makes me want to play again and Nautilus reminds me of my favorite time in League which sadly isn't there anymore, but hey that's nostalgia for you.
When I first played the game near release I played the trio of Kog'Maw Leona Rammus. Fast forward to far later after Swain had his reword, I thought all his new voicelines were so cool and started trying that out. Here I first learned a lot of the skills and discipline about getting better at a game. I studied, watched better Swain players and played a truly absurd amount of Swain.
The natural next step, was a brief stint as a Kled main, once again purely because he has good voice lines.
My favorite champion will probably always be Braum. I remember being in highschool talking to my friend about the game and saying that I wished there was a shield champion. He was like, "We have Leona so I think we're good." But I wasn't satisfied with that. I wanted a champion whose entire thing was based on a shield.
Then Braum was announced less than a month later and I was the most excited I have ever been for a new champ. Braum is the reason I'm a support main to this day and I wouldn't have it any other way.
My most favorite and special champion has to be Lulu. When I got into the game because of Anivia, I almost immediately gravitated towards the support role. I thought Lulu was cute so I tried her out. Fast forward long time after, she's still one of my favorite comfort picks. She's not hard at all and was very easy to pick up as a new player , she also feels like more of an all rounded and comfy enchanter to play. Plus her not having too much pressure landing skill shots or engaging enemies helps me feel more at ease.
While Veigar was my first ever played champion, I’ll always think of Vel koz as the champ that truly got me to enjoy playing league with my friends. Renata Vex Lillia Nilah Illaoi and specially Skarner (both pre and post rework) are also some of my favorites
I have sort of an origin story with taliyah and why I even play league. Overall i am just in love with every aspect of her character: her story, gameplay, personality, appearance and the whole fantasy of being an earthbender
Illaoi will always be that champion for me. She's not who introduced me to League, but she's the character I just instantly clicked with. I genuinely love her thematic, her playstyle, and the fact that she's a buff woman. She is the champion I play with the most, and I daresay I think I have more mastery on her than all my other champions combined. Which is impressive, considering my next highest mastery is Garen, who I hadn't even played with in a long time.
Fiddlesticks I also just vibed with the most in the jungle. Horror eldritch monster that I can also calle "Fiddie Six".
My favorite champs are:
•Volibear - My most favorite champ in league even before they reworked him.
•Malphite - I'm a huge fan of golem designs in general that's why when i saw that there's a playable golem character in league, i immediately both him and play him.
•Mordekaiser - I really enjoyed playing old Morde but i have a mix feelings with his old kit but then they reworked him and he became this unstoppable brute, my love for Morde increased even more.
•Galio - I've tried to play the old Galio but ended up not liking him because his gameplay doesn't suit me but after they rework him, he became one of my favorite.
•Irelia - A champ that i don't care about before even after the rework but as time goes by i slowy starting to notice that she's kinda hot and attractive and when they released her in Wild Rift and after seeing her 3d model was like “Damn! Irelia is freaking hot n sexy" and because of that, she became my top waifu in league and i started maining her in WR and now she's one of my most played champs in WR with a mastery of 6.
•Aatrox - Another champ that i don't care about before the rework but when the reworked Aatrox released, i started playing him because now he looks cool and badass but his kinda difficult to play in league pc which turns me off a bit because really like his new look but then, when they released him in WR, started playing him and thank goodness his alot easier to play in WR that's why i started maining him and now both him and Irelia are my most played champs in WR.
Gwen - When they released her in WR, i immediately played her because i found her cute and adorable and also because she has blue in her color scheme (My favorite color is blue that's why when a character has blue color in their design, it immediately caught my attention.
Started to play league and didn’t connect with any characters in the game. Not a single one, and played aram, and saw on the enemy team some scarecrow character. I asked my friend who he was? Who introduced me to the game, “that’s fiddlesticks he is a jungler. Don’t play jungle.” I was like, “nah let me try him in jungle.” Got fiddlesticks, played him and loved his kit, personality, and lore. The enjoyment of playing a character that has so much mystery and horror behind him. I only play jungle now and Fiddle is my main in both league of legends and Wild Rift.
For me it's Kayn for a really personal reason. He literaly was the champion that helped me to learn to deal with my illness and not end everything. I love him and Rhaast
Nautilus has been my boy since he released. I don't play much anymore but man when he came out he was gold. Unique hook mechanic that incentivized aggresive play (MEN GO IN) but had a special utility in case shit hit the fan. Tons of lock down. And despite the imposing base skin and vauge lore, that goddamn swimming through the air joke. Perfection.
Glad to hear that from. Personally as soon as I played Senna I knew she was going to be my best champ. A lot of people in multiple roles don't like her, but personally kept playing and after years of playing League I still have fun like the first time.
for me, my favorite character in league is Nasus followed very closely by warwick and darius, Nasus is such an interesting champion to me because he makes me play actively better since hes so farming focused when I like to be aggressive usually, his lore is fantastic as apart of the shurima storyline and his passion to save his brother. Darius I like the small nuances to what should be a very simple guy because of the comics and cinematics and wanna see more with him, and warwick I played before the rework, and now I love him even more.
For me, it’s always been Mordekaiser and Urgot. Morde for lore, and Urgot for gameplay. Morde is the first character I really got into when playing league, when I would try to make attack speed work on him. I miss that time.
I like kindred. Even though their gameplay doesnt really work for their character i just love their designs and how beautifully they contradict each other in almost every way except them both being representations of death.
The champion that got me into League was Lissandra and she remains my favorite to this day. She was among the first I ever played, I always found her kit smooth and easy to understand, and she can set up some really fun and interesting plays with her combos. On top of it I love her design, personality, and lore, and she’s always gotten good skins ever since being the first Coven alongside Camille.
I also played Jinx a lot early on and Star Guardian Jinx released soon after I joined League, which I thought was such a perfect reimagining of her character. I think it helped to make me start paying attention to the champions as characters, with thoughtful personalities, designs, and lore. This characterization remains my favorite aspect of League.
i loved old skarner alot, it was just so much fun playing him i could not stop.
I loved his lore, i loved his playstyle, i loved playing him in random lanes with random builds
(Midlane Lethality) i loved his skins and voice lines, i had so many nice memories about him and actually cried the night he got reworked :(
New skarner is also really fun but it just does not hit the same like old skarner did for me
(i had 840K Mastery before he got reworked over the span from 2018-2024)
Even with the amount of people that want to punch his face in, for me it's ezreal. I love frauds in shows and stories, regan arataka, usopp, etc putting up a huge front to mask something else within. No doubt it's not everyone's cup of tea but I just like that what Ezreal wants is to make it big so his parents will finally come home and acknowledge him.
The character that got me into league was Sivir, the character that made me stay was also sivir (she got some love when azir was released)
My personal favorite champion was Vex. It was the one champion to me that felt fun to both play and listen to. Even her release in LoR is what got back into playing LoR
For me my favourite champs tend to be either big monster or goofy lil guys. I love my Volibear, Maokai and A Sol. But also my Ivern, Lillia, Amumu, Neeko and Nunu. Then my highest mastery and probably overall favourite champ is Janna because I love two things being a helper and ruining people's day especially if they play assassins or Tryndamere. One of my favourite memories of League was getting chased by a Tryndamere and just making his life Hell with Janna
I started playing lol right when Thresh came out. To this day I think he is the coolest looking character. However, my favorite will always be Braum, just the wholesome dad protector who smashes you with a door. Plus all the poro love, attack speed build, and imo, he has the best song. A close second favorite is Veigar. Just a lil evil guy who can one shot people late game who talk down to him.
It's funny how opinions changed when we first started playing League when it came to champions, yet we have soft spots for champions because they were our comfort picks. Our champs were just fun.
In terms of myself, the very first rendition of Skarner, a.k.a, the one before the crystal map visions/Aura, was the first champ I loved and was a favorite for the longest time. Then, I played Darius, and he overthrew Skarner for the spot. Lastly, came Jhin. To this day, Jhin is still my favorite, but the others still have room living in my heart. The same goes for Old Aatrox, who I got my first pentakill on. Sylas and Malzahar have spots, too, due to their playstyles just working for me. My last champ is Kog'maw because it was just fun being a walking artillery weapon, plus having Bee'maw is a plus. That's the cutest and best skin in the game, in my opinion.
I think my favorite of all was Kindred cuz despite having no necessity of lore progression (which is something I love), they encapsulate what I feel was the best way to improve my life which was the (or my) philosophy of Duality, all the concept of them is so precious to me, in their back and forth synergy and almost gothic existencial thematic voicelines. The only sad part of it, aside from being in league of legends, is how a lot of people love to tear up that concept to focus only on lamb, turning it into your average furry waifu, and League itself is not guilty of this, which is why I love how they behave in LoR, and how amazing the Cinematic portryed them (but why did they have to show her thicc model?). I would love both to be like the cinematic but I understand thats not possible without doing some rework, and if we are getting one, I may be the only one with hope to be as awesome they actually are. (Btw I am sepir, hi)
For me it’s mordekaiser (first champ I ever played), Braum (had a friend who mains ezrael, was shafted into support anyway, clutched multiple times with him, 4 example blocking a jinx or cait ult), Thresh (my main, I enjoy playing him so much because of his adaptability and playmaking potential), Renata(got my first Quadra with her when the enemy’s all had elder and were aa champs), Galio (I love the cronk energy and his utility) and Orianna (when I play mid she is my go to)
Swain was the first champ I ever got a penta kill on in a normal game. He'll always have a place in my heart
To me it's Sona. I been playing league for only a year or so, but I've been a huge fan of Hatsune Miku for practically her entire existence, so seeing Sona immediately made me attached to her. Yes it's because she's literally looks like Miku, at first, but loving Sona as herself and her game play, it came with time. It was the first champ I got M7 on, and I adore her, and I LOVE making people who say Sona is useless eat their words.
When I started to seriously play League Ranked, I played a lot of Sion, and I love the guy to this day.
Ashe got me into league, my beef with support players got me playing support. Soraka and Sona forced me to learn the game. Then I met someone online that forced me to try "no-egirl" characters and I somehow ended up playing Neeko in support and that made me stay. I love Neeko as a support even tho she sometimes does not feel good to play and I love her as a character.
Honestly I love just playing characters outside of their intended role, like full lethality yuumi mid, support mordekaiser/sion, poppy... in like any fucking role... I swear she can fill any role and do well or naafiri adc
That’s very bold NickyBoi putting Yone as your favorite champion of all time, it might be a little controversial but I think you presented some compelling arguments!
Not putting Evelynn on here is a sin. Succubus concept done exquisitely.
The fact that jhin isn't here is a crime
Never knew you were doing vids with Matt and Ross. Been watching league content since 2011 and it's nice to see how your channel came to be. I find it really cool how everyone starts from somewhere and I love how you still remain yourself even after all this time. Hope to see more content from you for years to come but I still want to you to stay sane as well lol
For me its gnar. I just frickin love his normal form just throwing boomerangs at people and then get angry and now im throwing rocks u suckers. Its so much fun.
Dudes, Ive quit league over 2 years ago and till this day I STILL watch this mans league content.
You are a gift to watch and Im looking forward to your videos~~! ❤
I love Rakan and Xayah. And I really enjoy their lore together , gameplay and interactions. And I will always see their love as a special part of their charm , no matter how many cuck jokes the community makes and despite the wierd E-daters.
Nami and ivern
Nami was my first ever character I ever mained and had a lot of fun with
Then ivern was someone I stumbled across due to his passive and I absolutely fell in love with him, I found a way to always snag half of the enemy jungle early on and it’s so much fun
"never noticed theres a bird on his horn" bro is corn-plating...
Annie was probably my first "main" fire mage is something ive liked since Rina from dota to whatever they called her on HoN, so i tried her after ive been playing league for some time and i loved her, i wasnt the best at last hitting so her Q was a godsend that really boosted my farm and in turn my performance, i really hated that cinematic they did back in the day where they tried to change her from cocky prodigal mage that enslaved a bear by turning him into a plushie, to generic sad child that burned her family on accident, glad it didnt affect her ingame tho, also she was my first character i got a skin for, i tought that she needed a frost skin and then checked and boom there she had it i just never bothered with skins so i didnt knew, thinking "ok riot this is the one skin ill get" and just a few weeks after they announced reverse annie and so they got me again.
New Poppy second, before the rework i liked her fine specially her ult, but then they changet it, small character with big weapon is one of my favorite tropes, her story was great in how simple but good it was in getting you to know who she was, when they reworked her i got all her skins since they put them on sale but now she was cute and her popularity skyrocketed so she got a lot more skins, still since now im a working adult i can aford to still buy whenever they release a new one.
Those 2 are my faves and i have all their skins, but other contenders that i really like are Rumble(i was a C9 fan so Ballz was my inspiration to play him), Malzahar(watching opp slow death by dots is just real fun to me), Ezreal(not a fan of adcs but he plays like a mage so hes my fav one) and finally Vex(i just dont play that much anymore so havent had the chance to really dig into her gameplay, and being a Viego simp is kinda cringe, but her design and attitude are fun enough).
My favorites are Maokai bc he is a big poisoned tree
And the frog bc I love telling people he’s actually a fish
And neeko
Because neeko is best decision
I haven't played League for a year now but every now and then I get the urge to reinstall it just to play Singed. When I was burning out of the game in hs I figured I'd give unpopular champs a try, one of them was Singed. I loved him to death for how stupidly he played and this was before he had his goo fling. Nothing is more enjoyable than watching tryhards desperately try to kill me but end up killing themselves from either chasing me or having my team pick up after me. It got even better when he got his speedy passive and you can just run around in and out of team fights to be a menace.
My all-time favorite is Aurelion Sol.
just an arrogant space lizard who should be above taunts cause he created the universe, but isn't because he has a small ego and will throw a star at you for insulting him
Man, I love garen. Just being able to pick big guy with big sword and destroy most other champs with QER is so fun to me
If it took you 5 games to get Mastery 7 from 5 with Yorick, wasn't that the actual bare minimum amount needed? If yes then this is a lot more impressive than it looks, well done Nicky!
I love BIG MAN TM characters in games as well as high mobility and skill expressive gameplay. For example, I love Winston in Overwatch. In League, that has translated to Alistar because I just LOVE bring this big minotaur who's running around making massive supportive plays for my team, but I ALSO love AP alistar mid and just popping the enemy ADCs with stormsurge and the like. And I think he has so much potential with an ASU too; changing his story while keeping the bones of "bull man taken by Noxus who escapes and also child" I think would work WAY better if he doesn't escape because he wants to be there FOR the child, he's an experiment ran by LeBlanc and he's been dehorned and branded and shit and then the child he's there for dies and he breaks out in, rather than rage, a sadness.
Nicky how dare you rob us of a Jhin supercut laugh whenever number 4 drops
We're getting more NickyBoi lore, let's gooo
I love Jayce, even before Arcane. Most misunderstood guy in all of League 💔
My favorite genuinely are Viego, Kha’Zix, and J4.
Viego: I have a really hard time committing to playing only 1 champion to improve with, but Viego gave me that freedom by being able to let me play a different champion for 10 seconds.
Kha’Zix: My introduction to league was through the music video Rise, and I saw the protagonist of that animation using kha’zix’s weapons and I was like “which champion is that???” And fell down a rabbit hole of loving this champion.
J4: Same logic as Kha’Zix, but also because I got my very first pentakill with him, and he was the second champion I ever fully mastered.
For me, one of my favorite champion and the one got me in league is Fidlestiks(the reword version), because the moment e saw that trailer of the rework, something just click, i am obcess whit horror and seeing this scarecrow posses by a demon jumpscaring people out of nowere made me explore that wonderfull word and story.
And made me lose my sanity playing jungle. (Thanks league)
Not gonna lie. Ahri is what got me into the game. But she's not why I stayed. That's hands down Nami. She has such a great vibe, and when I was playing ranked way back she's the one I mained to get into gold for the victorious skin. Later on Neeko and reworked Poppy also joined along with a few others. But Nami is still my one true main. Nothing beats helping allies, surviving assasins or winning a 1v1 with her.
My favorite champion is Lux, but for a different reason than yours.
I, in a weird way, relate to Lux. Loving and embracing who you are, but having to hide it from the world because of other people who don't understand it and would harm you because of it, including some members of your own family who emotionally and verbally abuse you because of it. That's kinda the story of my life. Add in Lux being the first champion I played in the tutorial and I was hooked ever since.
YES! Renata mention. Sad Milio didn't make the cut.
even though i have a lot of favorite champs i think special one is varus because i didnt care for him at all once i started playing but moment i saw someone play ap varus mid i was like hey that seems fun let me try that and i got from 0 maestry to 50k meastry 7 in like span of 2 weeks during summer and then i just started noticing little tidbits about him that made me start enjoying character as a whole and i really like him even more after his voicelines update
